The SPCA is still 1 of 46 competing in the ASPCA $100K Challenge which ends on October 31.

The goal of the Challenge is to “Save More Lives” and the SPCA is hoping to adopt more than 1150 cats and dogs before the October 31 deadline.

Currently, the SPCA has adopted 351 cats and dogs since August 1 and is set to break last month’s record of 356 adoptions.

To find more homes, the SPCA has reduced adoption fees for all cats and any dog over 30 pounds. Cat adoption fees are only $15 and that fee is reduced to $5 for cats that are over 7 years old or adopters over 60 years old. Starting September 1, any dog over 30 pounds can be adopted for only $60.

The SPCA Adoption Center is located at 5850 Brannen Road South in Lakeland and is open Monday – Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Staff can be reached at info@lovemyspca.com or call 863/646-7722.
